Re: 2018 RAF families days

The Typhoon revised the schedule today and removed RAF families day as they are not open to the public, this included all events listed.

So still no confirmation other than they are private events.

I agree Benson is not normaly held on a Saturday but a Thursday instead.

Re: flying at Woodbridge in april

As its the a Last day of JW at Woodbridge according to Notam, i would assume all helicopters would depart today.

Also what are the chances of a A400M or C-17 to pick up relocated troops they dropped off last weekend?
